Paper Beadmaking

           We had so much fun doing this at IDEO, that we had to do right away at Craft Labs.

                  It didn't take long to get the skill down, and so satisfying to make lots of beads.

Holiday Ornament Decorating

                                                                 Fun with glitter

Wardrobe Redux 2012

Another successful clothing swap, this time craft labs members joined in. We all went home with bags of great new clothes. Some of us even found great shoes, comforters, and jewelry too. Tasty snacks helped keep us going.

How cool that our crafts classroom could look so much like a retail store.

Shrinky Dinks

They are not just for kids!

This was so much fun that we needed extra time. (And that was not the plastic fumes talking, to quote one of the attendees.

It is amazing how much they shrink

Pretty dramatic size difference
